In line with MHCLG Planning Practice Guidance this draft SPD builds upon and provides more detailed advice or guidance on the policies in the Local Plan. 1.2 Within the context of The Bolton Economy: Our Strategy for Growth 2016-2030 (“Economic Strategy”), the Council has adopted a Town Centre Strategy (“Town Centre Strategy”) including a masterplan framework and key intervention areas. These documents set out Bolton’s ambition and vision to achieve a £1bn regeneration of the town centre and sustain its immediate future to the benefit of the wider Borough and its residents, supported by £100m direct investment from the Council. 1.3 The Council is seeking to open up and improve access to and along the River Croal thereby maximising this untapped asset as it runs through Bolton town centre. This draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been prepared to convey the council’s aspirations for the river and assist with guiding development where development proposals impact on the river. The area covered by this draft SPD is shown in Appendix 1. The River Croal runs from Queens Park in the west, through the Croal Valley intervention area to the town centre, under the Market Place, through the Church Wharf intervention area to and ends where it is culverted under the A666 St.

    July 2013 Local Flood Risk Management Strategy Strategic Environmental Assessment Scoping Report – Environmental Baseline Report 1 Local Flood Risk Management Strategy SEA Environmental Baseline The collection and review of baseline information is a crucial part of the SEA process. It is essential to gather sufficient baseline information on the current and likely future state of the environment in order to be able to adequately predict and assess the significant effects of a plan. The data collected to characterise the evidence base for the SEA of the strategy has been derived from numerous secondary sources and no new investigations or surveys have been undertaken as part of the scoping process. The information presented in this Scoping Report represents an outline of the evidence base by environmental topics. It may be necessary to collect further data against which to assess the potential environmental effects of the LFRMS with regard to monitoring requirements. 2 1 Introduction 1.1 The Borough of Bury is located in the North West of England, situated within the Greater Manchester metropolitan area. As an integral part of Greater Manchester, Bury has an important role to play in accommodating the spatial priorities for the North West region. Bury also has strong links with parts of Lancashire located, towards the north, via the M66 corridor and Irwell Valley. Bury is bounded to the south by the authorities of Manchester and Salford, to the east by Rochdale, to the west by Bolton and to the north by Rossendale and Blackburn and Darwen. 1.2 Bury benefits from good transport links with the rest of Greater Manchester and beyond, which has led to the Borough’s attractiveness as a commuter area.

The Local Development Framework, which will eventually replace the current adopted Local Plan is still in the development stage and as a result there are areas where monitoring of this is not possible. The report is, however, as comprehensive as is possible at this point and provides a ‘snap- shot’ of the borough. The monitoring has been completed using a set of indicators – Contextual, Core Output, Local Output and Significant Effect indicators. The Core Output Indicators used in the monitoring report are those set by Government and will ensure consistent monitoring data is produced each year.

    The Rise of Bolton As an Important Engineering and Textile Town in Early 1800 England

    I. međunarodna konferencija u povodu 150. obljetnice tvornice torpeda u Rijeci i očuvanja riječke industrijske baštine 57 THE RISE OF BOLTON AS AN IMPORTANT ENGINEERING AND TEXTILE TOWN IN EARLY 1800 ENGLAND Denis O’Connor, Industrial Historian Bolton Lancashire, Great Britain INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that Great Britain changed, in the 19th Century, from a rural economy to one based on coal and iron. In doing so it created conditions for British civil, textile and mechanical engineers, such as Robert Whitehead of Bolton, to rise to positions of eminence in their particular fields. Such men travelled across Europe, and laid, through the steam engine and railways, the foundations for many of the regions present day industries. EARLY TEXTILES AND BLEACHING. RISE OF LOCAI INDUSTRIES The origins of Bolton’s textile and engineering industry lie back in the 12th Century with the appointment of a Crown Quality Controller called an Ulnager. During the reign of Henry V111 an itinerant historian Leland observed that ‘Bolton - upon - Moore Market standeth by the cotton and coarse yarns - Diverse villages above Bolton do make Cotton’ and that ‘They burne at Bolton some canelle (coal) of which the Pitts be not far off’. Coal, combined with the many powerful streams of water from the moorlands, provided the basic elements for the textile industry to grow, the damp atmosphere conducive to good spinning of thread. In 1772 a Directory of Manchester (10-12 miles distant) was published, in this can be seen the extent of cloth making in an area of about 12 miles radius round Manchester, with 77 fustian makers (Flax warp and cotton or wool weft) attending the markets, 23 of whom were resident in Bolton.
